No.

XO-1 and XO-1.5 are not a PC.  XO-1 and XO-1.5 require an Open
Firmware bootloader configuration and custom kernel.  The ISO 9660
based Debian network installer image you reference does not have these
features.

Shortest path mapped already is debootstrap on another system to
create a custom filesystem on an SD card or USB drive that can then be
inserted into the XO.

Please also ensure hardware redundancy; the XO-1 and XO-1.5 units are
beyond end of expected life and will be failing rapidly, statistically
speaking.  Can your server software work with multiple server
instances?  If not, stick to one known good server.
